A photographic autograph postcard after an original taken by JW Barker from RMS Carpathia, with survivors.  Our research uncovered that the photographer, J.W. Barker was a passenger on board Carpathia, and gave the photograph to John McQuair, a waiter on board the Carpathia, who subsequently mailed it home to his family in the form of a postcard.  This type of research uncovering connections authenticates such items and provides excellent provenance for collectors.  It achieved a healthy £820.  Without such time consuming research and expertise the price achieved at auction would have been significantly less.
